Hi!
the Preferences.app plugin for management of Bluetooth devices
should be the Configure.app plugin for management of Bluetooth
devices.
Maybye it is time to start Configure.app :)
*groan* Do we have to???
I never liked Configure.app and I think Apple is on the right track
with just having Preferences.app where some panes need the admin
password to apply changes. Maybe they could be grouped by user and
computer settings? Maybe using a TabView?
I don't think so.
This is not the Unix Design.
Are you designing for "Unix users" (whatever that is...)
No for Unix system.
In Unix root have special acess.
I don't want to lie to users
or unix GEEKS,
where is the geeky thing here ?
who are expected to memorize the location of every preference/configure
panel?
I preferes memorize
Configure == hardware
Preferences == user
than see that

On MacOSX you don't have a lot of device and a lot of MacoS classic
users :)
You also have one place to go for stuff. There's a reason for that, and I
think it's fairly apparent if you take a commen-sense look at why it's
done that way.
MacOS Classic does not have special account like root
On Unix like Linux it is quite different.
Needless complication just for the sake of it? You're a "splitter", it seems.
One app should do the right thing.
Preferences == users with no special access
Configure == hardware with special access for special configuration
HostManager == Network with special acces for special configuration
All in an App is confusing (and lies) (it does not reflect what *nix is)
Once again, is "reflecting what UNIX is?" the ONLY thing GNUstep is about?
no
I know it's *a* factor, but is it *the only* factor?
yes you understood, it is a factor
, bloating and harder to use + some security stuff.
Can you elaborate here? Are you referring to the lock/unlock concept apple
introduced in some OS X preferences panels?
create a Mockup with a lot of device and preferences in a MOSX style and you'll
see
you'll loose consistency.
